-Walked in one morning to find my booth trashed from a wild "goodbye" party the night before. Food everywhere and the burnt remains of a trampoline lying on the street below the rear outside balcony.
-During Episode 1 two guys thought it a "good" idea to make their cars out like the spaceships of the older Star Wars. One was a TIE-fighter and the other was the Millenium Falcon. After this they tried to re-enact a fight scene at full-speed through a crowded parking lot.
-Many a light-saber duels during Episode 1. Funny thing was we'd confiscate them and play with them on our breaks. Later to break them, but oh well
-Caught many people in the act in the theaters as well as in their cars around the back.
-Scared the shit out of stoners getting high many times
-Chased birds out of the bathroom, which is very hard to do with the exit being a single hallway, and scared a lot of customers in the process.
-Played many games of "Garbage-can Bowling" whenever bored while an usher.
-Also while an usher, witnessed a couple ballroom dance during the credits of "Midsummer Night's Dream".
-Watched a fellow co-worker set his pants on fire and proceed to put it out with the fireextinguisher while in the theater.
-While in box office witnessed a huge Semi, while taking a poorly-coordinated turn, bend a stop sign in half and take out a fire hydrant. All this after I had just told a co-worker how slow a day it was.
-Haven't dealt with any deaths yet, but had to calm a crowd of 200 while my manager helped a man who had had a stroke.

Thass all I can relly think of now....

Now that you mention it, I saw a couple dancing to some slow song during the intermission music. Right in the front of the auditorium! I don't think there was anyone else in there. I laughed.

alarm clocks
radios
tape players
CD players
MD players
portable TV's
video games
PC's

Etc.... I guess they don't want people goofing off and getting distracted, which I can understand. The only reason I can think of behind the alarm clock is so people don't take naps between shows?? I don't remember excercise equipment on the list, but I'll check.

1) My theater was build in 1916, so of course we had a group of bats living in the upper dressing rooms. Every once in a while they would decide to visit the people in the auditorium People would start scooching down in their seats and come out and say "There is a bat in there", we would reply "No it's just a bird, go sit down". On the same "bat" thing, a bat got caught in the booth with one of the owners. She was so scared she wet her pants. Not that's humor

2) We had a customer that we called "The Mad Crapper", he was a local weirdo that came a lot. When he was in the theater there would always "appear" a pile of crap on the mensroom floor.

3) After the 9:30 show of "Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles" when we were cleaning after being sold out all day. We got to the front row, now it is about 12:00 a.m. There was a 4 year old child sound alseep. We were crapping ourselves. Where were the parents this late, and didn't they miss this child. As anyone who has kids knows it is almost impossible to wake up a sound-asleep child. So we just left him sleeping while we called the police. They came and found the "Mom" waiting for this 4-year old child outside in her car. She thought it was odd that he hadn't come out yet. The police were not happy with her needless to say.
